I have read of putting the sensors (all five) inside a small tire, inflated and carried in the trunk. I have also read of owners building a PVC pipe vessel, installing all sensors in it and pressurizing. I have even read of owners putting the sensors in the spare tire, i presume to rattle around. In each case, the system would believe all tires were at programmed pressure... not that I'd recommend any of them.

When you say you had the same symptoms, do you mean the system would go completely off-line as I described, or that one sensor would show up as "checking"? More importantly, would the system come back online on its own accord as I described?
I fail to see how a low battery could rejuvenate... Seems like it would finally fail all together. In my case, toward the end of the (13 hour) trip, the system was functioning correctly. I tend to think that after 13 hours, if the cause were a battery, the system would more likely be off-line instead of functioning correctly. I think I like the LS430-way of TPMS... Rotational speed differences.
Maybe something to this... Found this in a recent search: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ck-system.html
